Job description

Availability Window

Thursday: 22:00 - 07:00, Friday: 22:00 - 07:00, Saturday: 22:00 - 07:00

Our Shift Leader rate of pay starts from £14.76 an hour; this increases to £15.97 for stores inside the M25. For all hours worked between midnight and 6am you will receive an additional night premium of £2.35 per hour worked. Additional payments may also apply depending on location.

It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.

The availability windows are the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for our colleagues, therefore if the times you’re available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

It takes a lot of great people to run one of our stores, and it takes a great Shift Leader to support them all and keep things running smoothly. From helping customers to making sure store operations stay on track, being a Shift Leader at Tesco is a truly rewarding role. You’ll face lots of interesting challenges as you oversee the store from the shop floor and strive to make things just that little bit better for customers, colleagues and communities, every day.

As a Shift Leader you’ll:

• Work in a fast-paced retail environment, with bags of variety
• Take ownership of running duty shifts, coordinating the team to deliver a clean, well-stocked store that exceeds customer expectations
• Be there for customers, listening to them and helping to make sure they leave the store with what they came for
• Look for ways to improve service, including coaching your colleagues and giving feedback to the team
• Guide and support your colleagues in-store, making sure it stays a safe place to work and shop
• Maintain a great understanding of how your store is performing, and assist managers in delivering any actions that help improve the running of the store
• Lead from the front, and set a great example for your colleagues in everything you do

Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.

We are proud to have been accredited Disability Confident Leader and we are committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process.

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That is why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at Tesco means that whoever you are and whatever your background, we always want you to feel represented and that you can be yourself at work. In short, we are a place where Everyone’s Welcome.
